They recommended that the City participate in a proposed joint powers agreen~ent, along with other cities in the Santa Aha River area, that will be presented for Council consideration within the next thirty days. ORAL COMMUNICATION Mr. Robert Gottshall, 2904 W. APARTMENT DUMPSTER Elder, stated that he and his REQUIREMENT wife own a four-unit apartment at 2618 West McFadden; that recently they had been advised by the Department of Public Works that four units or more must use a dumpster if space is available and that the Public Works inspector had declared that space was available on their property. Mr. Gottshall stated that he was appealing the inspector's decision on the basis that it is discriminatory in cost and in space availability; that a dumpster monthly rental charge is four times what he has been paying for six regular trash containers and the dumpster will never be paid for; and that the space proposed for the dumpster would decrease the required off-street parking. The Ma)or referred the matter to the Director of Public Works for resolu- tion. RECESS At 5:40 P. M., the meeting was recessed to 7:30 P.
